Sweet Cinnamon Parsnip Fries

Simple Sweet Cinnamon Parsnip Fries that make for the perfect Paleo meal pairing or as a sweet and savory vegan dessert!

These sweet cinnamon parsnip fries are the perfect thing ever for when you get tired of sweet potato fries.

Hah! Funny joke, right?

I don’t think I could ever get sick of sweet potato fries. I like them sweet. I like them savory. And I especially like when they are both sweet and savory.

BUT… I also have a seriously strong love for their root veggie cousin, the parsnip. Even though I had never even tasted parsnips until about two years ago, I quickly fell in love with them. They are just a bit sweet, just a bit savory, nice and carby (thank goodness), superduper versatile, and have become a major player in my diet as of late.

However, when my rotation diet became a thing about two months ago, I started having to experiment with new ways to season my favorite parsnip fries. My old go-to was always avocado oil + sea salt + dried thyme + garlic powder + onion powder. But lately I have been avoiding avocado and garlic, so that’s not really happening so much.

Luckily, instead of feeling too super deprived (okay, I totally did for a bit), I decided to get creative and use coconut oil + sea salt + cinnamon for a sweeter version. Basically, I swapped out sweet potatoes and introduced parsnips to the delicious combo that is coconut oil and cinnamon. Of course salt is a must for tasty fries of any kind.
